Chapter 366 Wipe Stern's Ass
"Is it the kind of fanatic?"

Ward chuckled, "I've seen a lot of them, some of them are funny, some of them are scary."

Su Yang nodded in response, and continued to watch TV programs to analyze the pros and cons of the two teams.

[Kalam: Wow!You seem to be convincing me, but the statistics show that the Clippers played against the Mavericks four times this season, and Su Yang averaged 32.5 points and 11.5 assists per game. Only the rebounds are equal to Kidd. Why? 】

[Matt: This has to mention another advantage I just mentioned, that is, the Mavericks' zone defense is the best in the league.The reason why they can be the best in the league is that they know when to use that form of defense, and the player in charge of giving orders is Kidd, who has completely two styles of play in the regular season and playoffs. understand? 】

[Dennis: You said that the Mavericks' zone defense is the best in the league. I completely agree with this point, because according to the statistics, their average points allowed in the paint area per game is the lowest in the league, even better than the Bulls, which are known for their tough defense.

But I have to mention another thing, that is, the Clippers have the second-highest number of three-pointers per game in the league, and the highest average three-pointers per game. The shooting percentage is above average. 】

[Matt: I know you will mention this statistic, and I am happy to admit that three-pointers, especially fast three-pointers, are the best way to crack zone defenses, but I want to tell you that the Mavericks enable zone defenses. , mainly to limit Su Yang's offensive rhythm, and at the same time slow down Randolph's low ball speed, and try to force the Clippers to take more hasty shots. 】

[Kalam: This is all your theoretical assumption. When the game starts, Su Yang may take a step around the cover and make an emergency stop to shoot a three-pointer. He doesn't care what area you defend. The case of the Grizzlies is right in front of you. The fact is Speak louder than words! 】

[Matt: I'm happy to hear you mention the Grizzlies case. You probably want to say that the roll call is aimed at Marc Gasol, right?That's a very creative tactic, but I must remind you that Tyson Chandler's mobility is much better than Marc Gasol's. When he encounters a pick-and-roll screen, he can grab and delay at will. Su Yang can't think of anything to do What. 】

[Dennis: Com Ang, Matt, do you think I haven't watched the Clippers play the Heat?When Chris Bosh plays center, isn't he more mobile than Tyson Chandler?Didn't he also be able to restrict Su Yang? 】

[Matt: Your question is very good. The reason is very simple. Although both the Heat and the Mavericks adopt a zone defense strategy, the Heat only revolve around LeBron and Wade, and the coverage area is far inferior to that of the Mavericks. .

Another key point is that the Heat's height advantage is not enough, and their restrictions on long passes are worse than those of the Mavericks.

Look at the roster of Mavericks’ perimeter players, Peja, Stevenson, Marion, and Barrett, who has returned from injury. When they surround the ball holder in twos, it is difficult for the ball holder to make long-distance transfers. , in most cases, it is necessary to act on the strong side. 】

[Kalam: According to what you said, the Clippers have no chance to fight. After all, Su Yang is the core engine. 】

[Matt: Not at the time, the advantage of the Clippers is that they can be an enhanced version of the Mavericks.

We all know that the Clippers also often use zone defense. The only difference is DeAndre Jordan's ability to assist defense, which is a step behind Tyson Chandler, but DeAndre's ability to protect the frame and interfere with receiving the ball is better. powerful. 】

[Dennis: According to your statement, the key to the outcome of the two teams lies in who can play better offense?That's why you mentioned that Dirk Nowitz has the ability to score from any position and has a strong shooter group? 】

[Matt: Yes, Nowitzki is in the season with the greatest sum of offensive skills, physical condition, and mental quality. He is omnipotent on the offensive end. Score.

He can also be used as an axis, like Tim Duncan, to organize and instigate the Mavericks' offense.In short, every move of his can become a threat, even standing on the center line with his hands on his hips, it can also draw the Clippers' defensive attention. 】

"Damn it?" Ward paused the massage, "It's so exaggerated. It sounds like Michael Jordan, who is 210 cm tall and has a 60% three-point shooting percentage. But I look at the Mavericks' first-round game data, and Dirk doesn't look too much. Amazing."

"It's really that powerful..." Su Yang thought for a while, then pressed the remote control to continue playing.

Matt also mentioned the Mavericks' strong shooters, but he didn't think it was that scary. After all, many of the Mavericks' shots were wide open, which belonged to the tactical execution. On the contrary, it was the defensive strength of the Mavericks' shooters that people must pay attention to.

Especially Stevenson, as a player who dared to challenge LeBron, smashed his teeth and swallowed them with mixed blood, and then immediately confronted the ball holder. Who bothers.

Marion's style is similar to that of Stevenson, even Peja can rely on his height and wingspan to make sudden shots.

After Matt finished analyzing the Mavericks shooters, Dennis finally began to explain why he is optimistic about the Clippers' ability to advance. He made a lot of data analysis and theoretical assumptions, and finally threw out a sentence: You can always trust Su Yang.

"Haha..." Ward laughed, "It seems that this guy named Dennis is your big fan."

Su Yang shrugged slightly and continued to pay attention to the show. The host Kalam mentioned the predictions of the major casinos in Las Vegas.

[The odds given by MGM Entertainment Group tend to be that the two teams will play at least 6 games.However, they also predicted the Clippers and Grizzlies in the same way in the last round, but in the end the Clippers swept 4-0, which cost them a lot of money. 】

[Dennis: Their analysis methods are still in the old days, and Su Yang is the kind of player who is not affected by past data. There is no way to see what effect he can play, but buying the Clippers will not lose money. 】

[Kalam: OK, after listening to the two analysis, let's see what the players have to say. 】

Kalam's voice survived, the program screen switched, and began to broadcast interviews with relevant personnel of the Mavericks.

[Reporter: Dirk, according to voting statistics, more than 90% of people predicted that you would lose to the Clippers, and 54% of them even thought that you would not win a game. Do you have any comments on this result? 】

[Dirk Nowitzki: I know that not everyone thinks that we can beat the Thunder, and not many people think that we can beat the Clippers, but we will work hard, play smarter, and see what happens next. 】

Su Yang nodded silently. Nowitzki's neither humble nor overbearing state can be called a general.

[Reporter: Mark, what about you? 】

[Cuban: Everyone thinks that we don't have the strength to beat the Clippers. Everyone thinks they are prophets, but I want to say that they are all wrong. Our players will do their best to play. I am proud of them 】

"Okay, this guy didn't say anything crazy." Ward was a little surprised. "Is this the Mark Cuban I know? He must be low-key. Even I know that they have done a lot of work this year. Ambitious."

Su Yang nodded. The Mavericks' operation method in the 10-11 season can be regarded as a model of NBA management and operation.

[Reporter: So if you win the series against the Clippers, how do you plan to celebrate? 】

[Cuban thought for a moment, and said calmly: "If it was at home, I would run naked in the arena to celebrate, and then take the initiative to pay a fine of 100 million US dollars to the league office, and let Stern and the group of guys wipe their ass... "]

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's right, that's right, it's just arrogance..." Ward laughed.

Su Yang also laughed, feeling that Cuban wasn't just talking casually, he really had the confidence to win the series.
